HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acai 1000 mg by 21st Century

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: acai extract at 1,000 mg per softgel capsule. Acai is a berry from South America that's been studied for possible effects on skin, heart health, sexual function, weight, and cholesterol — though the evidence remains limited.

The softgel also holds soybean oil, gelatin, vegetable glycerin, beeswax, soy lecithin, caramel color, silica, maltodextrin, and purified water as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Acai product and its label doesn't state a use — see Acai's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence on acai extract for the claims studied — aging skin, athletic performance, erectile dysfunction, high cholesterol, and obesity — is rated insufficient in our data. That means we don't have reliable clinical evidence yet to say whether it works for any of these uses.

If you're considering this product for one of those reasons, chat with your pharmacist about what the current research actually shows.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Acai as a whole food is generally well tolerated, but concentrated supplements like this one haven't been as thoroughly studied — we don't know a lot about high-dose effects yet. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data on acai supplements to be certain, so caution is advised.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it during pregnancy or while nursing.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Acai.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications), check with your pharmacist before using this product — acai may affect how your blood glucose responds, and that's a Moderate-level concern. Run your exact medications through the checker on this page to be sure.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Acai extract is generally well tolerated, but it's not proven to work for any major health claim in our data. The key concern is if you take diabetes medication — you'll want to check that first.

Does Acai 1000 mg by 21st Century interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Acai 1000 mg has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Acai 1000 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does acai actually help with cholesterol or weight loss?
Our data rates both of those as insufficient evidence — we don't have reliable proof yet that acai works for high cholesterol or obesity. You'd want to talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether acai fits into your health plan.
Is acai safe if I'm diabetic?
If you're on diabetes medication, you need to check with your pharmacist first. Acai can theoretically interfere with blood sugar control, so your doctor may want to monitor you or adjust dosing. Don't start it without asking.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data on concentrated acai supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so caution is advised. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using it.
What is acai, and why is it in supplements?
Acai is a berry from South America that's been studied for possible effects on skin aging, athletic performance, sexual function, cholesterol, and weight. It's generally well tolerated as a food, but we don't know as much about high-dose concentrated supplements yet.
Does this product have fillers or other ingredients I should know about?
Yes — besides the acai extract, the softgel contains soybean oil, gelatin, vegetable glycerin, beeswax, soy lecithin, caramel color, silica, maltodextrin, and purified water. If you have soy allergies, note that it contains soy lecithin.
